Guy looks like a geography teacher. Not very rock and roll. But then neither was DS so maybe that's the point.

I think its safe to say the cringe level surrounding the three of them receiving their "induction" was fairly high...a few subtle MK digs (rightly deserved) and just a pretty awkward set of speeches....the whole thing could have been done SO much better....

Quite sad to see the induction go like that. This was a chance to showcase the great music and pay respect to the fans but it seems like MK didn't think about that. Well done to John, Guy and Alan for flying the flag. If it weren't for their effort in attendance, DS would've been lucky to get a mention at all.

Not even a video presentation? Not even something directly from MK?

Yikes.

And in other news...

"Former Bon Jovi members Richie Sambora and Alec John Such joined current members, including Jon Bon Jovi, onstage to mark the band’s induction into the prestigious club. They performed crowd favourites Livin’ on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name and It’s My Life."

I guess there was a video presentation, but not filmed in that video.  Only the speech part was filmed in the video.

Apart from Mark not being there, David and Pick weren't there either, but they were barely mentioned!    ::)

On the road again to Cleveland
Grey hair, no fenders
Old ghosts barely mentionned today
One original member...

Well, John did what he could, he was fine.
Didn't he forget Ed Bicknel in his thanks list ? Not sure...

John did well but the whole thing is a bit odd. Inducting themselves?!

Not only Ed, but also Paul Cummins. Also all the producers, like Muff Winwood, Jimmy Iovine, Neil Dorfsman etc. His list of people to thank seemed pretty complete! John did a good job.
